Settings for NetWare Server

Using NDS Remote Printer Mode (NetWare 4.x/5.x/6.0)

Follow the steps below to make the printer environment using NWAdmin under NetWare 4.x, IntranetWare, NetWare 5.x, or NetWare 6.0 with NDS mode.

Creating objects

From any NetWare client, log in to the target context of the NDS tree as an ADMIN.

Run the Administrator tool (NWAdmin).

Create a printer:

Click the directory context icon, and select Create from the Object menu, then Printer. Type the Printer name and click Create.

Create a print server:

Click the directory context icon, and select Create from the Object menu, then Print Server. Type the Print Server name and click Create.

Create a print queue:

Click the directory context icon, and select Create from the Object menu, then Print Queue. Type the Print Queue name and select the Print Queue Volume, then click Create. Double-click the print queue object, and register the user.

Note:

Since your clients need the print queue name you set here when they use the printer, announce the print queue name to your clients.

Double-click the Printer Object icon in the NetWare Administrator screen.

In the Printer dialog box appears, click Assignments and then click Add.

From the print queue list, select the queue you created in step 5 and click OK.

Click Configuration, and select Other/Unknown for the Printer type list box and click OK.

Double-click the Print Server Object icon in the NetWare Administrator screen.

In the Print Server dialog box that appears, click Assignments and then click Add.

From the printer object list, select the printer object you want to assign and click OK.

Go back to the screen in step 11, and click the Printer Number button to set the printer number from 0 to 254.

To confirm the objects you have assigned, double-click the Print Server object icon. Click Print Layout, and check that the print server, printer, and print queue are connected.
